At the sound of the Emergency Alarm, it
is the responsibility of all
building occupants to evacuate
immediately and proceed to predetermined
assembly points, away from the building.

Building occupants are also responsible
for ensuring that their
visitors/customers follow the evacuation
procedure described herein,
and leave the building along with all
other occupants.

Faculty and instructors are responsible
for dismissing their classes,
and directing students to leave the
building by the nearest building
exit upon hearing the building alarm or
being notified of an emergency.

Designated essential personnel needed to
continue or shut down critical
operations, while an evacuation is
underway, are responsible for
recognizing and/or determining when to
abandon the operation and
evacuate themselves.

Contract workers will be made familiar
with the procedures outlined
herein, and are expected to leave the
building when the alarm sounds.

Evacuation
Instructions

Whenever you hear the building alarm or
are informed of a general
building emergency,

Do not panic

Do not ignore alarm.

Leave the building immediately, in
an orderly
fashion.

Do not use elevators.

Classes in session must be
dismissed and
students
directed to leave.

Follow quickest evacuation route
from where you
are
(see posted floor evacuation
diagram/map).

Do not go back to your office area
for any
reason.

Proceed to the designated
emergency assembly
point
for your area. If the designated
assembly point/area is unsafe or
blocked due to the emergency,
proceed to the alternate assembly
point.

Report to your Work Area Rep at
the assembly
point to
be checked off as having evacuated
safely; also report any knowledge
you may have of missing persons.

Return to the building only after
emergency
officials
or building monitors give the
all-clear signal. Silencing the
Alarm
doesn't mean the emergency is over

For
the
purpose
of
this
Plan,
Emergency
Evacuation
Personnel,
and
their
alternates
are regular employees who have been
selected to ensure that
building evacuation is carried out as
planned, evacuated building
occupants are directed to assigned
assembly points where they will be
accounted for, and persons needing
assistance to evacuate are attended
to.

Building emergency evacuation personnel
and their alternates shall be
selected among building occupants, and
on a voluntary basis.

The following is a list of building
emergency evacuation personnel, and
their corresponding duties.

PLEASE NOTE:
Assigned
duties are to be carried out only if you
are not putting yourself in
danger or risking your personal safety.

Personnel

Duties

Work Area
Representatives.

Maintain a current list of
all occupants,
including part time and
student employees in
immediate work area.

Ensure area occupants
leave the building
in
cases where there is word of
an emergency but building
alarm didn't
sound.

Inform occupants of their
duty to report
to
your assembly point.

Assist and/or direct
occupants with
limited
mobility either to safe
rooms, or down stairs if
able to negotiate
stairway.

Leave the building as soon
as possible
and go
to your assembly area.

Check off co-workers who
safely reported
to
assembly point from occupant
list.

Collect information on
missing personnel
known,
or suspected to still be in
the building, and report to
floor monitor
or emergency personnel.

Any
person unable to use stairs, or
need assistance to evacuate, should
proceed to the nearest designated "safe
room" or remain in his/her
office if safe. Emergency evacuation
personnel will check "safe rooms",
and ensure emergency response and rescue
personnel are notified if
someone has taken refuge there. They
will also report any person taking
refuge in offices in their areas.

In any emergency requiring
evacuation, do not
panic, proceed as
follows:

If you are on a building
floor WITHOUT
exit
doorways, and you hear a fire alarm,
or are informed of fire or other
emergency situation.

Go to a Safe
Room
immediately.

Inform or ask someone,
a building
occupant
or a
floor monitor in particular, to
alert the first arriving
emergency
responders of your presence and
location;

Call 911 from the safe
room, to
ensure
rescue
personnel are notified of your
location;

Request "IMMEDIATE
ASSISTANCE
TO
EVACUATE",
especially if threatned by
smoke or toxic fumes;

Remain by phone,
police have
radio
contact
with officers at scene and
will keep you informed of
situation.

The information you
provide to the
emergency operator will be
immediately relayed to all
emergency and rescue personnel
arriving at
the scene, who will assist in
your safe evacuation if
circumstances
warrant.

If you are on a
building floor
(main
floor)
with exit doors, leave the area by
normal means

Reasonably "safe rooms", unless
otherwise specified, are regular rooms
that are easily accessible to
individuals with limited mobility, have
closeable doors, are preferably equipped
with a telephone and windows
to the outside, and are monitored by
emergency personnel (work Areas
Reps, Floor Monitors).

Two rooms per floor should be designated
as "safe rooms". These rooms
are for use as a refuge by individuals
who cannot negotiate stairs
during evacuation, until trained
emergency rescue personnel arrive to
assist in their safe evacuation if
circumstances warrant.
